its the NFL. Most teams go from good to bad within a couple years, and vice versa. Some teams can build dynasties, but its rare. Im sure Minn does not regret getting Favre. At all. its a terrible example. Also, its not like we know Tebow will be great. Its very debatable. I like him, but he has to vastly improve.

I think Manning goes to Miami or the NYJ, with Arizona being an outside possibility. Miami and Arizona have pretty good offensive pieces. Wayne will go where Peyton goes.

Denver's pass blocking leaves alot to be desired. Our starting WR's are talented, but raw. We dont appear to have the middle of the field option at TE. We also lack speed at RB.

It would be interesting to see how Denver would draft and approach FA if they do sign Manning, but his coming here has to be a fairly slim possibility.

If we were to sign Manning I would expect us to draft almost exclusively for the offense, or possibly trade away picks to acquire established playmakers. It would probably be disastrous for us in the long-term.

Why? The Colts success this season proved that Manning doesn't need a high-power offense to tear **** up. All he needs is a mediocre blocking back who can catch a check down a declining pro-bowl receiver and a few "me's" in the slot.

Do you mean the Colts' failure?

And if you think, with the way they played last season, that Manning would have made them a viable team, you are hopelessly delusional. They would have been lucky to go 8-8 with him. Very lucky.

Call me hopelessly delusional then. Manning would have had them at 8-8 at the very least. Practically the same roster, and yet a decline all across the board on offense. Same bottom ranked defense Peyton is used to carrying. Yet somehow, over the course of 13 years, he ALWAYS steered these guys to the playoffs. Since '98, just 1 season under 10 wins. Somehow, this team went from 12 of 13 straight 10 win seasons and practically a unanimous pre-season prediction of a 10-6 season from experts to the worst team in the league. That's not delisional, that's just the power of Peyton. He's made so many mediocre players look plausible it's not even funny.

Agree Jets are probably closer to SB, than we may be but why are all the "Peyton's not healthy"....."why not try to see what Jets got in their young QB" ......"Sanchez led us to playoffs and two AFCCG appearances" arguments not being thrown around on that idea?

Sanchez has had three solid years of starting, get all the practice reps, all the training camp reps, and his OC is gone now. One tends to think at some point it's over. Feels a little more like "it's time."
